Diagnostic Junction Box continuously monitors scales.

Press Release Summary:




NTEP-approved, digital iQUBE(TM) alerts technicians to potential scale inaccuracies. LEDs change from green to red to indicate suspect load cell and its specific location to help speed diagnosis and repair. Cell-Emulator(TM) compensates for connection errors and A/D drift and failures, and maintains scale operation until repair or load cell replacement is available. iQUBE is suited for new or retrofit, multi-cell weighing applications.

New Non-Proprietary Digital Diagnostic Junction Box



Rice Lake, WI, October 2003-Scale downtime can mean lost revenue and lost business opportunities. In many multi-cell weighing applications, finding the root of a problem can take hours or sometimes days. The NTEP-approved iQUBE(TM) digital diagnostic junction box drastically reduces scale downtime. Unlike standard analog resistance junction boxes, iQUBE immediately increases the performance of any multi-cell application, including truck and railroad scales, tank and hopper scales, and floor scales. With continuous monitoring, iQUBE assures scale accuracy so the quality and profit of a business stay on target.

Through iQUBE's advanced diagnostic features, technicians are alerted to potential scale inaccuracies via valuable troubleshooting data. LEDs change from green to red to indicate a suspect load cell and its specific location, which helps to speed diagnosis and repair. Additionally, the operator can enable the Cell-Emulator(TM) feature, which compensates for A/D drift and failures, connection errors, and more. Cell Emulator maintains scale operation until a repair or load cell replacement is available. iQUBE's intelligence even compensates for the use of different capacity load cells.

Featuring the latest analog to digital technology and a non-proprietary interface, iQUBE is perfect for new or retrofit applications. Combining connectivity, diagnostics, data acquisition, performance, economics, and future migration paths, iQUBE provides a value-added solution to any multi-cell scale system.
